Election Official Files FIR Against BJP Booth Agent Over Voter Deletion Attempt
A BJP booth agent is facing legal action after attempting to remove 30 Muslim voters from the electoral roll using Form 7. Election officials confirmed through field verification that all targeted individuals were legitimate residents.
An FIR has been registered against a BJP booth agent following an attempt to strike 30 Muslim voters from the electoral roll. The agent had submitted Form 7, a document used to request the deletion of a voter's name from the registry, claiming the individuals were no longer residents at their listed addresses.
Following the submission, election officials conducted a field verification on October 1 to investigate the validity of the claims. The investigation concluded that all 30 voters were, in fact, still residing at the addresses recorded in the electoral roll. As a result of the discrepancy between the agent’s claims and the findings of the field verification, authorities initiated legal proceedings against the agent. The incident has drawn attention to the integrity of the voter registration process and the potential for misuse of administrative forms to influence electoral rolls.
